“In order to be eligible for FMLA leave, an employee must have been at the business at least 12 months, and worked at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, and work at a location where the company employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles.”
This probably doesn’t describe the typical fast food worker’s situation. Also, like you said, it isn’t paid. So a minimum wage worker probably can’t afford to take the time off even if they qualify.
